Statement of Purpose

Your  Statement of Purpose enables you to showcase skills and experiences  that may not be evident on your resume. It is an opportunity to  demonstrate not only your writing skills but also your interest in  joining the field of social work.

When writing your Statement of  Purpose, remember that you must address each of the following bulleted  items. We recommend that you address them in one coherent essay that  conveys your passion for social work throughout.

Questions:

  • 1. Describe  your understanding of the social work profession and its core values.  How have you incorporated social work values in your human service  experiences and interactions with others? What significant relationships  and life experiences have you had in giving or receiving help that have  motivated you to enter the field of social work? What personal  qualities equip you for the social work profession? Discuss your  experiences and feelings about working with populations different from  your own.

  • 2. The USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social  Work is dedicated to providing excellent graduate education for people  destined to create social change. What social welfare areas interest you  and why? What social problem most concerns you that might be addressed  with an MSW?

  • 3. Please discuss your career goals. What do you expect to be doing in five years  and 10 years? How will your chosen concentration and practice area help  you reach your personal/professional goals and future contributions as a  social worker? Include why the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social  Work is a good fit for your goals.
